Desk Blotter Calendar

I have a large blotter calendar on the bulletin board. I put the class assignments in the square for that date. When a student returns from being absent, he/she simply goes to the calendar to see what needs to be completed. I have a Make-Up Work box on a table under the calendar for easy accessibility.

I do the same; the monthly calendar is posted, with all daily goals & activities briefly mentioned and all homework in detail. As the parent of a son with ADD, I also print out this calendar (with seasonal artwork, for fun) and give a copy to each student. Some months I require a parental signature, so I know the parent know of this resource. It is highly helpful when a student is absent or forgetful, when they ask what is scheduled for a future date, etc.
